Very interesting. Beginning of my UC correlate with time I started using toothpaste. But It might be just coincidence.

I think Oligodar might be talking about toothpaste containing Triclosan? Colgate Total may still contain Triclosan even though it has shown to be ineffective for dental health.

Yes, I meant Triclosan in toothpaste. I think several decades ago Triclosan was very popular and it was common part of toothpaste. But I might be wrong. Nowadays producers do not use it. The exception is Colgate.
